Hi all,

Daphne Blake thought that a good idea for Sarah's birthday would be to make a donation in her name to CARE (http://www.care.org). As those of you who already donated to CARE know, there is an option to make a donation in someone else's name in the form and it would be a perfect opportunity to put it to good use.

So, with the permission from Hostess to advertise here, we're suggesting that as fans, we wish Sarah a Happy 31st Birthday by making a collective donation to her favorite charity biggrin.gif Let's try to make it a big donation too!! laugh.gif

I'll be keeping track of the amount collected, keep everyone updated, and make the donation from my account on April 14th. I will post the receipt so that everyone can see that their money did go to CARE. smile.gif

If you'd like to participate, please use paypal and the following email address: eleagold@yahoo.com
Please include your screenname, it'll be easier for me to keep track.

Please, feel free to spread the word to the other Sarah communities out there. It's for a good cause!
Oh and please let me know what you think smile.gif And use PM for any questions.

PS: On another note, it has come to my attention that because we chose to use Paypal, Care will not be able to issue individual tax receipts. This concerns US residents. The global tax receipt will not be used by anyone. If you are planning on participating to the project and really want a tax receipt for your donation, or for any questions about this, please contact me at eleagold@yahoo.com smile.gif

How much do you think we can get? tongue.gif

Thanks Eleagold, as previously stated we will both be keeping track of the money we get so there wont be any confusion.

Also to note its not about how much you can offer casue every little helps (I sound like a tesco ad) and its such a worthwile thing to do to celebrate Sarah's birthday. So lets spread the word.

I will be donating $50.

And for people outside the US, remember that with the US Dollar being on the cheap side these days, you can buy a LOT of dollars for your Euros or Pounds or whatever currency you use biggrin.gif

That's an excellent idea, Eleagold! biggrin.gif

I'm a regular contributor and I always put it down in Sarah's name.

I'll send it to you this Friday. I have a paypal account.

It is so great that we could get so much money already! smile.gif
